Re: Keyboard fix for the HP 15C LE? Message #4 Posted by Jeff Raines on 23 Mar 2012, 10:37 a.m., in response to message #3 by Jeff O.
Thank you - I was pretty excited about the 15c coming back - and for all the people who would rather have the 42s, my guess is that the 15c LE project manager sold this as an experiment in manufacturing - we can make money with small batch manufacturing of limited demand products. If they make 10x the profit on small batches, then they only need 1/10th of the market demand for the project to make sense. If they're up to 20,000 LEs and that's the equivalent of 200,000 of their latest models (profit wise) then a 42s LE probably won't be far behind.
Maybe they'll bring back 8-tracks.
